EN ISO 12185 Crude Oil and Petroleum Products - Determination of Density - Oscillating U-Tube Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 12185 standard. It gives a method for determining the density of crude oil and related products in the range 600 kg/m^3 to 1100 kg/m^3, which can be treated as single-phase liquids, using an oscillating U-tube densitometer.

EN ISO 12185 Crude Oil and Petroleum Products - Determination of Density - Oscillating U-Tube Method

This international standard is applicable to liquids of any vapor pressure as long as appropriate measures are taken to ensure that they remain in a single phase without loss of light ends and subsequent changes in composition and density during both sample processing and density determination.

If the determined density is to be converted to density at some reference temperature using petroleum measurement tables, the determination should be performed at a temperature as close to the reference temperature as possible to minimize the uncertainties arising from the use of generalized tables.

The method is not intended for use in calibrating online density meters.
